[Guest]

I just love playing with fraudsters and spammers, scam people, I usually negotiate with them, make them to give me a ring, I know it costs them a lot. We usually exchange 20-25 messages. When I fed up I just give them non-existing address and non-existing account in non-existing BANK for e.g. CHAV’s BANK international. They usually try to transfer money. When they complain about false info I just tell them - YOU started it first

will.bridge@usa.com : Send me your bank account details, I wish the ipod to be a gift for my friend in nigeria. I will give you his postage address and will deposit an extra 50 euro into your account for postage. Send me all your bank details and I will make payment immediately.

me : (alarm bells ringing) sorry I dont give out my bank details. we can meet up for cash in london somewhere at a time and place of your choice. otherwise better luck scamming some other idiot sometime.

never heard back from the tool.

Hello,
I saw your adverts and i am interested in your Large hardshell wheelie suitcase (£30) advert and i will want you to get back to me with full present condition and the picture if is available.

Best Regards.
Mr Graham Smith.

hi
i can take a picture and attach tomorrow morning...the condition is as new, as it has only been used once.

Hello,
Thanks for your quick response and i am very sorry for the late response.I want you to inform you that i have my company reputable shipping agent that will take care of the pickup for the Large hardshell wheelie suitcase from your location and also to pickup some other consignment for me in Glasgow.I will want you consider that the Large hardshell wheelie suitcase has been sold to me for now and i will want you to remove the ads from the site so that i can be able to rest assure about this transaction. Hope to read from you soon.

Best Regards.
Mr Graham Smith.

I am sorry I am not prepared to take the ad from the site regarding the suitcase. It is a first come first served basis for the ad and is quicker and easier to sell to a local person rather than a businessman if i can do that, i would prefer it. it is a level playing field and if someone else comes along who can buy it today or tomorrow then i am happy to sell it to them.


As regard the pick up,I'll employ a shipping agent to do so for me as soon as the transaction is sealed and i will compensate you with £15 to remove the advert from the site,if you consider the Large hardshell wheelie suitcase sold for me. This is how the payment will be made to you i will instructed my business associate in united kingdom to issue you the cheque in amount of £1,600 including the shipping fund arrangement for the pickup of the Large hardshell wheelie suitcase and also to pickup some other consignment for me in another location and you will deduct the cost of the Large hardshell wheelie suitcase and any tax incurred and the compensation fees and the remaining balance will be send to the shipping agent in cash via western union money transfer to
make arrangement for immediate shipping for the Large hardshell wheelie suitcase and also to pickup some other consignment for me in another location in Glasgow.
If this is okay with you I want you to get back to me ASAP with your full name,address and landline phone number both mobile number,so that the payment can be issue out to you. Thanks for your understanding in anticipation.

N:B:-I WAITING FOR THE CHEQUE TO CLEAR BEFORE THE PICK-UP.

i am quite aware of the criminal activity and scams which you demonstrate below. you issue me with a stupid amount of money for a second hand article of no real value except to a local person travelling. i issue you with the "change" and you take the money whilst your cheque bounces in the UK bank.

you must think i am stupid to fall for such a thing as offering 1500 for a 30 pound secondhand suitcase. I will be reporting your email address to the authorities here

I have written a handy spyware programme and to date have disabled quite a few nigerian computers.
They are mostly public access ip addresses but if they want to play "bring it on"
Download it now via e-donkey.
HAVE FUN ITS AMAZING WHAT THESE IDIOTS ARE UP TO

[Guest]

thats illegal, plus your using P2P software, I must inform the police sadly.

[m34]

boring and its illegal to use it not to own it.. sorry

[Stop the nigerian e-mail]

Of course p2p is illegal in the uk.
Fortunately no laws governing the restricted use of this software apply to Nigeria.
Also for anyone just wanting fun at the expense of people laundering blood money from dictatorships, try accesing public access portals through "searches on google". Not illegal and more fun than reading guests boring/labourite e-mails
Long live the revolution.

[Lee20010]

yeah well I dont know why they continue to try the same scam over and over again. Obviously it's worked a few times. I was the one who wrote the police threat, I've added my username now

I was joking about reporting to be honest, got no time for that. I'm trying to locate a few computer IP's through the emails they sent, got a software I made which can view their computer. And do anything if I wish. But not yet, trying find loophole within computer laws.


I'll let you know the outcome.
